  • The absence of a cliffhanger left me unsatisfied.

    I thought this episode was pretty great, the thing that turned me off about this episode is that it didn't have much of a cliffhanger. Sure, it was Turk & Carla's wedding, but a season finale should tie up almost all the plots that had happened that season, and if not, they should leave it in a cliffhanger fashion. The thing that I was hoping to be resolved in this episode was the JD/Elliot plot. JD did a very bad thing with making Elliot sabotage her relationship with Sean and go with JD. But when you look at it at a different point of view: JD didn't ask Elliot to sleep with him, all of the things that happened were to Elliot's choices. The only reason that Elliot is mad at JD is because she wished she loved him. It was nice to see her in JD's position, the position he was in all season. The case of unrequited love. Turk & Carla's plot was of course: great. Turk & Carla don't even end up getting married because Turk arrives late at the wedding, but they eventually do because of fate. Turk's patient was a priest so they end up getting married before they go on their honeymoon. Danni continues to be hysterical. Cox & Jordan's relationship keeps on going strong. The only thing that was left up in the air was if JD & Elliot were going to be friends again, which didn't entice me much. Where's the cliffhanger that we got from the past 2 seasons? This finale was missing something, but overall it was a pretty great episode.moreless

  • The day of Turk and Carla's wedding.

    Turk is delayed in a tricky surgery, and when he finally finishes he ends up at the wrong church. The ceremony is cancelled, but the reception is held regardless. I really liked that twist! I actually thought that this was gonna be a typically boring wedding episode. I'm glad that Danni was in it, even though her and JD broke up. The only thing kinda bothering me was Jelliot with their will they, won't they tension. Everybody knows that sooner or later they'll sleep with each other again. They should either break them up for good or get them together for good. But this is getting old...moreless

  • Elliot got what she deserved

    This is the part of the series where I really began to dislike Elliot. I'm not sure if the writers wanted me to feel sympathy for her that J.D crushed her, but I say Good for him. She makes the comment, "If we were meant to be together I never would have gone home with you that night and sabatoged everything I had with him." Better statement yet would have been "If we were meant to be together I never would have had sex with you that night he was in New Zealand." She cheated on Sean which isn't bad enough, she wanted J.D to be okay with it and everyone else to be okay with it too. From this episode on out I really ended up rooting for any kind of bad thing to happen to her character. Devotee's might disagree with this comment, but how come Elliot doesn't become the tent dwelling poop fainter who can't drive? Isn't Karma a funny thing?moreless

    In truth, literally everyone expects JD and Elliot to be "together", this i believe is to be the " main strength of the show" as quoted by another reviewer. However, the writers seem to know what everyone expects, thus concludes the reason as to why they make JD and Elliot separate; because it enables them to add more suspense to the story, rather than your average "Oh! I know that he'll end up with her!, its like oh my god, so obvious!" In Turk and Carla's wedding, they end up being unofficially married, however, it actually represents the fact that even though marriage seems to be the biggest part in an individual's life, it indeed, can be done in the simplest way from doing it in a huge church to getting married in a medical hospital room- by a patient who is a priest. Overall, i believe this episode has become a little less like scrubs, and more of a humorous show. Perhaps, it is because it shows how the biggest things in the world, can be tempered down into something simple, which can be easily remembered.

    Although the story of this episode seems to be a little far of from a typical scrubs show, it is, i believe, still able to satiate the viewers of this remarkable show. :)moreless

    It's Turk and Carla's wedding day, unfortunately things don't exactrly go super smoothly. Turk ends up being late but good news it gives Jd just enough time to find Sean and try and reconcile he and Elliot. And lemme tell you this is another episode that has some super funny Sean moments, he is seriously hilarious another great guest star in the perfect role. I mean the man grows this insane beard in like three days, it's awesome. Anyway, after managing to get Sean to the church JD get's a little over excited. There's some singing ivolved, it's really funny. But Sean and Elliot almost seem to want to give their thing another shot but because of what Elliot did just can't bring themselves to do. Fortuantely, Turk and Carla end up a lot better off. Though they don't actually end up getting married in the fancy church they have a kick butt after party and a very romantic ceremony at Sacred Heart with a the two of them performed by a priest/patient. All in all it's very sweet, but I'm still a little mad at Jd!moreless

    • J.D. says it's been four days since Sean and Elliot broke up but "My Self Examination" was set a day after "My Fault" and this episode was a day after that, so unless two days passed between when Elliot broke up with Sean and arrived at J.D.'s, they've only been broken up for two. Edit
